For eligible LinkedIn Live Video broadcasters, it's important to choose a reliable streaming quality based on your Internet connection. We recommend that you run a speed test to ensure that you’re getting at least 10 Mbps upload speed.

| Aspect Ratio | 16:9 |
| Resolution | 720p Recommended; 1080p Maximum |
| Frame Rate | 30 fps |
| Key Frame | Every 2 seconds (60 frames @ 30 fps) |

Here's a tip
If your stream fails to process, check your encoder’s video profile. Use the Baseline profile instead of High or Main. Higher profiles can introduce B-frames and timestamp issues that prevent successful ingest.
